[kireiS14]

what was it contaminated with? nuclear ooze?...are the fish gonna come out like Blinky from the simpsons?anyway~ i'm interested; i'm in northern va, but i won't really mind the trip.

[mirochuki13]

we were supposed to have found an empty old airstrip. I think we got permission to go there and drift but idk what is happeneing with that. Hopefully we will find out soon.

We found an airstrip? Are you talking about the lot in North Jersey (btw, what ever happened to that, nate?) or something else?

[nateb]

?????? wow u guys lost me????.....NINO u have officially lost ur posting privileges for 24 hours , starting.....NOWMIRO IM RIGHT HERE!!!!i lost the dudes number but i wrote it on a piece of cardboard on los's garage floor

[mirochuki13]

I was asking what happened to the parking lot and "that kid"? I was not asking what happened to you.. lol.

[mirochuki13]

Ok from what im to understand this place contaminated the ground water in the area so it was shut down, about 950 million gallons worth of the ground water was contaminated, the clean up is to run until 2016.

And what I gathered from another site it seems like theres a "polluter pays" law in effect that this site falls under, which means it doesnt get federal funding to help clean the area. So this could be our in if the company is hurting for money and a bunch of "kids" show up saying we wanna pay to use the lot they might bite.

Some good things about the lot is its fenced in with one main gate, its been repaved not too long ago and there isnt many obsticals (I.E light poles islands)

I read through the EPA website and it says that the Hellertown Manufacturing Company site is being cleaned up by the government.

"Site ResponsibilityThis site is being addressed through Federal actions."

The company responsible for the damage went bankrupt in 2001.

"Consent Decree negotiations between EPA and the potentially responsible parties, Federal-Mogul Corporation and Paikes Enterprises, Incorporated, for reimbursement of past cleanup costs and the takeover of the remediation work ended when Federal-Mogul declared bankruptcy on October 1, 2001."

So my question is: Is there anyone there now? If so, how do we contact them? The people you listed are EPA contacts, not owners of the site, right?

Has anyone been to this area to see what's there?

I'm going to check out the lot in North Jersey this Sunday (maybe Saturday) since it's relatively close to me. Let me know if anyone else wants to come.

kireiS14: Welcome. I was looking at your website. It looks like you've been in several drift events. Do you know anything about how events are typically organized and what type of costs, insurance, license, waivers, etc. are involved? The only real info we have right now is about the cost/insurance/license necessary to do autocross.

I live less then 3 blocks up the road from that site, there was rumors around about 2 yrs ago that it and the property next door were sold too wal-mart and a super center to be built.

The lot next door has been built into a used car dealer and as far as I know right now the hellertown manufacturing company building is empty.

Right now Slappy and I are working on trying to find the current owners.

Yea what happened to the near freehold place? I was told we were waiting for someone to get back from Georgia. With the track closing for the season on the 18th I'd like another place to have fun with my car. Which btw, anyone planning on going to the track this weekend?

Every god damn day I plan on going to the track it rains. I have plans to go tonight, but again someone told me it's suppose to rain. So IDK, I really really REALLY wanna get on the strip one more time.

Yo *** this is wut Wess told me when i talked to him like 2 weeks ago. He said that a guy contacted him and you about an abandoned airstrip about 45 min from us in south jersey. He said it was his dad's and he gives us permission to drift there. But he only wanted like 5 or so people for the first few times so it is not to crowded.

[mirochuki13]

I wish my dad owned an airstrip.

[nateb]

im pretty sure wess did not tell u that nino.....the only "strip" involved in the lot was a "strip" that was long between two lots at the place in NORTH JERSEY......once agian nino u have thing mixed up....not refereing to ur last post but the majority of ur posts in this thread are stupid u really need to chill a little.......I NEED ANOTHER TRANS!!!!! if anyone got a FREE one ....any kind KA,SR,RB they all work

[B-Boy DuB-L]

ok ur right Wess didint tell me BUT

It was because i was too busy superman-ing your mom

[Sr20Det20]

ok so wess found a secret lot ... me toni and mullet killin it .. we only alowed 5 ppl we have 3 who else going for it ...and sorry no bull**** cars allowed

[tjmhillz]

hahahah nino..... sounds like u guys are having fun up there.. and wes did u ever get ur diff in?

[B-Boy DuB-L]

so I was ****in right. **** you Nate and ur smart *** comments.Yo wess who is the 2 people since ur only allowing 5, and lookin for 3?

[nateb]

no ur wrong its not an air strip...wess im there LMK when ur going

[mirochuki13]

So I drove over to the North Jersey lot we were talking about. There are two medium sized lots connected by a road. There's also another separate lot in addition to the first two. It's good for drifting except the road that connects the two lots has some major holes in it.

There were a few cars parked there today, but it's probably empty on the weekends. Let me know if anyone wants to try drifting here. I'll e-mail you the address, and we can meet up.

Wess, this lot seems like the same one you were telling me about... If not, then I'm in for going to the one you found.

First lot

Road that connects lots

Second lot

Third lot

[nateb]

miro is that the one i was tellin u about??? if so please dont mess this up for us u have to talk to the guy before u go there becuase the dude hasto get written permission because ther is secrurity and crap like that if we show up randomly u can mess this up...lets just plan for a sunday ill get the number agian and set it up lets just pick a day and do this right

[mirochuki13]

Nate, I'm not drifting there. I just drove through the lot to see how good it was for drifting and to give everyone here an idea of what it looks like. So no reason to get crazy about it. Go ahead and call that kid to get permission. I have no problem with that.

[nateb]

nah i was just saying cause u said who ever wants to go u would email them the address and u would meet there....the kid only wants a few people for the first couple times which means u me tj wess andrew and tony cause he has friends there who will be drifting too

[mirochuki13]

I thought that the deal with this kid wasn't working out because Wess told me that this guy didn't really have permission and he was lying to you about the whole thing. Anyway, as usual everyone has a different story. Just set it up, and I won't go there for now or give out the address. Let me know if I can help with anything.

[nateb]

dont listen to wess.....hes trippin
